Fortune favours the brave palette - First impressions.

Fortune favours the brave. A pallet from make up revolution and the British beauty blogger

Hey loveliess, welcome back! Today I'm sharing with you my first impressions on this palette from make up revolution. If you read my blog often you know I'm a huge lover of this brand, they do some of the best quality eye shadows at a really affordable price. I've wanted this palette for a while now and I was lucky enough to get it for Christmas.

As you can tell, the packaging is stunning. It comes in a sturdy sleek palette that's a bronzey gold colour with the name of the pallet and a cute gold logo. Inside the palette is a huge mirror which is really beneficial and it comes with a double sided, soft bristle brush, not one of those spongy things we all chuck in the bin 

Inside, there's a good mix of matte and shimmer colours, 30 in total. The was a slip of clear plastic over the top with all the shade names, but me being me, I've lost it already. I seem to remember the shadows had really pretty names though. 

I've used this palette twice now and it seems to have the same amazing pigmentation the rest of the palettes have and the colour pay off on the lids is amazing. The shadows are super easy to blend and the colour range in this palette is enough to create loads of glam or natural looks.

I used this palette to do my Christmas make up, unfortunately I didn't get a picture because the day was so hectic but if you'd like me to recreate the look using this let me know in the comments and that can certainly be a post in the future. 

My favourite shadows from the palette are the bronze and gold shimmers, I'm really into a shimmery glam eye look at the moment and these perfect for that. Also the second shadow in on the left, bottom row doubles as a beautiful highlight for inner corners and cupids bow. It's a frosty snow colour with marbled gold, absolutely stunning.

I think this palette retails for around £10, and to me that's an absolute steal for the quality. If you see this in your local superdrug its well worth picking up. You won't be disappointed. 

I hope you've enjoyed this post

Affordable electric facial cleansing brush

Hey Loveliess !!

So, we've all seen those electrical pulsating cleansing brushes around the internet and I was curious as to how it worked. My friend Chloe (You can find her videos here) recommended me one and I was lucky enough to get it for Christmas. 

I've used it every day since Christmas and incorporated it into my daily skin care routine. I've never used anything like this before so this review will also be a kind of first impressions too. I suffer with dry skin and break outs so I hope this helps.

BLOGMAS || Why I've given up on blogmas

Why I've given up on Blogmas..

Hey loveliess !

So, Unfortunately, I've stopped Blogmas this year. I spent hours and hours during November to create content to take the pressure off this month and be more organised. I decided to do Blogmas as a challenge to myself and increase my blog traffic. 

And while this has happened and helped me out loads, as the days have gone on I noticed my page views were getting less and less and I was stressing about having something to post. 

As Chrismas gets nearer there's more and more things that need doing, buying and wrapping gifts, visiting my family and clearing out my home.

I read through my last few days of content and it wasn't at a high standard which is probably why my views were on the decrease. I don't want to post content you guys aren't into, And I don't want to just post rubbish for the sake of it.

That's why I've decided to stop this year. I'm happy I completed 20 days of Blogmas and thank you to everyone who took time out of your life to read and comment on my posts.

I'll still post for the rest of December but it just won't be everyday. Hope you lot understand!

Well done to anyone who is doing Blogmas this year and completes the whole 25 (or more) days. You guys are awesome !

Thanks for being here

Kisses and Love

BLOGMAS || 2017 Resolutions + Goals

Hello Loveliess ! 

The year of 2016 is almost over and it has been all kinds of crazy right? Where has the last 12 months gone? I sat down to write a reflection of the year and well, I don't have much to reflect on, I haven't achieved a lot this year which is pretty sad. 

I thought I'd write a little post on the things I want to achieve next year. 

1. Continue saving hard for my mortgage deposit!We've done pretty well this year, I always thought I was rubbish at saving but turns out, I'm doing okay. Hopefully we have enough by summer time to start looking for our own proper home to buy. How exciting ! 
2. Raise some money for charity
   I really want to give back to the charities and organisations that have helped me and my family over the years. I aim to partake in an event (Something fun but challenging) to raise money for amazing causes and help others who need it.
3. Lose some weight
   I know EVERYONE says this every year (Guilty) but I really do have to shift some weight in order to be healthy, my weight is something I've struggled with for years and years and it's beginning to cause problems. I just need to find the right program to help me along the way. Any recommendations are welcome! 
4. Spend more time with friends and family
   I really don't spend time with people who matter the most, most weekends I sit around doing nothing when I could visit my incredible grandparents or pop in and see my crazy cousins. There's no excuses really! 
5. Be happy at work
   Who knows where I'll end up working this year, I might still be in nursery, I might be nannying, I might just decide childcare isn't what I want to do anymore. Wherever I end up, I just hope I can wake up and not dread going to work, wouldn't that be nice.
6. Continue blogging 
   Blogging is something I started back in September and it's something I've really fallen in love with. I've spoken to so many lovely people, had great brand opportunities and enjoyed writing again. I hope my blog journey grow and I get to interact with more of you lovely readers.

What are you hoping to achieve in 2017?
Thanks for being here

Kisses and Love
